Purcahsed new Irons (Wilson Staff Ci7) last week, and got to play today with them for the first time, and played horrible, I realise there not the best Iron out there but i hit them well @ GolfSmith. I play about 25 rounds a year, and didnt have the money to spend on a more expensive set but i like them. Does it take some time to get adjusted to new Irons, It seemed like everything was alot longer then with my old set of Clevelands, they were straight as and arrow just long. Also i think i was bearing down more for some reason, plus played with a couple low Handicappers as well, I always like to play with better players, I was always under the impression it made you play better. Oh well theres always this weekend?

just hang in there, it takes a while for to get comfortable with new irons, driver, putters, etc..

I'm sure you'll like them after a few rounds...

Don't have much first-hand experience, but there's no reason to think that a new set of irons will prevent you from having a bad day. If you hit them well before, you can hit them well. Probably the next time you go out!

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW

How long did you play with your previous irons? It took me a while to get adjusted to my clubs. Couple rounds and a couple buckets of balls, but then I started shooting lower and lower. Hang in there!

I'm confused. You say in your post they are as straight as an arrow and long. What was/is your problem with them then??

I've played 3 rounds with my new Cobra's and I'm just starting to get a good feel for them. I think it's a confidence thing, more than an equipment problem.

Dude, nothing wrong with those irons at all - Paddy played them last year. I considered them before settling on the TM Tour Preferred's.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing.

I'm guessing the OP means he has a hard time adjusting to the distance change? I have no clue.

Ci7s are pretty strong lofted (44 deg PW), so if your Clevelands were more traditional loft the Wilsons may be as much as a club longer.

I would give it a good 10-15 rounds before you start to think it's the clubs. Give it some time to adjust to the new feel of your irons and before you know it they will feel like an old friend when you grip them!

5 Wood: Cobra Bio Cell 20*, Stock S-Flex

Sounds like the clubs are performing well you just need some practice and a few rounds to get your distances down

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
